Perhaps considered a bit old fashioned at one time, as flowers remembered by our older generations when they were young; this now could not be further from the truth, with so many new and exciting hydrangeas available!
A hydrangea shrub can last a lifetime with due care and attention, and as well as being relatively easy to grow, has multiple uses throughout the garden, bringing colour and interest with fabulous blooms and foliage. Also interesting is their dependency on the pH of the soil for bloom colour! In an acidic soil their blooms will appear more blue, in alkaline soil, more red, and in neutral soil, more white!
